"Break Down Those Walls"
Went for a walk had questions in my mind
Wanted to run from my troubles leave them all behind;
Although, running never solved anything for me
I've ran for years trying to be free;
Running I've learned doesn't help me at all
It only seems to build up stronger high walls;
I used to think that keeping up walls was good
I could never get hurt, or be misunderstood;
Now I see my thinking was all wrong
I have to break down those high walls and try to be strong;
These walls were a way of protection for me
Didn't want the hurt to show, or others to see;
The hardest thing in breaking down these walls
Every situation I've been through my heart still recalls;
The suffering, sorrow and pain
Until I face things I'll go through it again;
Lord, I pray You give me the wisdom to work it all out
I pray You strengthen me and help me not to doubt;
Lord, I know not what to say or do
With all these walls I've built how do I break through;
I know I've built them in times of despair
I pray that I remain in Your tender loving care;
Lord, lift me up from the state I'm in
Help me to stand up and start over again;
I seek Your face, Your strength, and Wisdom to
Lord, help me I pray to break down those walls and start knew;
I thank you Lord for hearing my prayer
I pray for those who have walls built up to beware;
I pray this poem touches their hearts
And that you grant them a knew start.
